Title: Improvements in or relating to knitting machines
IPC: D04B9/06
Filed: 1930-07-24
Abstract: 354,531. Knitting-machines. MEL - LOR, BROMLEY, & CO., Ltd., BROMLEY, T. C., and SHORTLAND, A., Minotaur Works, St. Saviour's Road East, Leicester. July 24, 1930, No. 22327. [Class 74 (ii).] Machines with two beds of independent needles are provided with instruments 2 whereby the selection of needles or other yarn engaging devices such as sinkers or web holders, when made in one bed can be transferred to the other so that both sets are controlled by the same selection. Plain, rib, purl tuck and interlock fabric can be made. The instruments have rounded corners 2a and grooves 2b which enable them to rock and slide in needle tricks on the stems of their own needles. When moved forward by cams 5 their lateral projections 7 pass over the hooks of the needles 2 while their forward projections engage the corresponding rib needles. When the needles 2 move up under selection they carry with them the corresponding instruments and cause the rib needles to tilt (Fig. 3) so that their tails or tail butts, if any, miss a cam 9 which otherwise would move them into position for being acted on by the usual knitting cams. The needles 2 that are not selected neither act on their instruments 2 nor knit. In a modified arrangement a shoulder on the stem of the selected needle raises the instrument. The cams for acting on the instruments may be pattern-controlled. In a further modification shoulders 48, Fig. 23, on the needles 1 act on push rods 47 which raise instruments 43 into line with a cam 41 so that it can push back the corresponding needle 8. On the other hand if the cam 41 is out of action and a cam 42 is in action needles 8 are selected to correspond with the needles that are not selected. The instruments may be carried in the ribber dial or in a separate rotary carrier. The selection may be made on the instruments in the first instance. In some cases the selected needles may act directly on the needles in the other bed. The invention is applicable to parallel machines. Specifications 20409/08, [Class 74, Lace-making &c.], and 329,369, [Class 74 (ii), Knitting &c.], are referred to.

Patent GB-223667-A (GB)
Abstract: 223,667. Debenham, E. R., Rowley, C. D., and Jackson, W. July 28, 1923. Calculating-apparatus.-Calculations are performed by the use of series of rods, electrical contacts or other elements, adapted to transmit impulses and capable of being transversely displaced in accordance with the value of one item or factor in order that the impulses given to the rods, selected according to the other item or factor, may be directed to effect the indication of the appropriate result. The rods may be superposed as shown, or they may be arranged one behind another with suitable interconnections to economize vertical space. Adding and subtracting apparatus.-Referring to Fig. 1, the series of rods A - - - E, superposed and increasing in number upwards stepwise by unity, are guided for vertical movement in fixed guides F and horizontally slidable guides G controlled by cams J and rollers H carried by vertically movable overlapping rods a - - - - e adapted to be cumulatively raised by depression of keys Y. To set one item, a Y key is depressed so as to incline one or more of the rows of rods A - - - E. The other item is then set by means of a key in the bank X, and the consequent upward movement of a rod in the A row is transmitted through aligned rods to the'results indicator Z. The guides G may be shifted from their normal position to the extent of two or more inter-rod spaces, or they may be given transverse movements to either side of a central position, thus, in either case, enabling a less number of superposed rows to be employed. Multiplying-apparatus.-For the multiplication of the single digits by themselves three panels of superposed rods are employed, one (Fig. 6) evaluating the products of the even digits by themselves and of 5 by 5, a second panel (Fig. 7), for determining the products of the odd digits by the odd digits, and of odd digits by even digits, and a third panel (Fig. 8) for giving the tens values of the products of odd and even digits. An interconnection is made between the first and second panels for enabling the products of odd and even digits to be found. The first and second panels are similar in arrangement, and each comprises a units series of rods A - - D, a tens series A<1> - - D<1>, and a separate series for dealing with multiplication by 5. In so far as multiplication of odd by odd or even by even digits is concerned, the diagrams are self-explanatory, but for odd by even multiplication it should be noted that three of the A rods in Fig. 7 co-operate with lugs A<x> on the A rods belonging to the digits 2, 4, 8 in the first panel (Fig. 6), and thus produce the units figure of the product in the indicator Z of this panel. The third panel is also brought into action by depression of the 3, 7, or 9 keys, so as to show at Z<1> the tens value in this product.
